Buffalo hot wings hail originally from the Anchor Bar and Grill in Buffalo New York. It’s a cold, snowy place in winter, so you can imagine how popular these spicy little gems can be when the winter winds blow over the lake.

They really are quite easy to make and you can adjust the spice level in your sauce however you like by adding optional ingredients, such as habanero sauce or blending in a pureed chipotle pepper. Adding chopped garlic or garlic powder is a popular option as well. In this recipe I have added habanero sauce (El Yucateo), which is one of my favorites.

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons spicy hot seasoning or cajun spice

6 whole chicken wings, cut into sections and wing tips discarded (or saved for another use, such as chicken stock)

shortening or oil

1/4 cup mild Louisiana hot pepper sauce (such as Crystal or Frank’s)

3 tablespoons butter

1 tbsp, habanero pepper sauce or other hot sauce (if you like a more spicy sauce)
